We are planning to stay in Cannon Beach and friends recommended Ocean Point Inn. It looks wonderful, but it appears we might have to get in our car to go anywhere. Does anyone know if there is a town where OPI is located or is it just a secluded spot?

Ocean Point Inn is actually in Arch Cape. You may want to consider Arch Cape Inn for dinner, we have not been there yet but want to try it when we're back in the area the end of June after our Maui adventure! If you go to nearby Cannon Beach you will have lots of places to eat and there is a quaint and charming downtown area. www.cannon-beach.net

Manzanita is also nearby where you there is a charming downtown area and several restaurants. If you like to golf, the course in Manzanita is very nice. There is also a driving range there. Have fun at the coast! :)

Arch Cape . . . yes, there is a town of sorts but it's basically just what might be called a "bedroom comunity". There is a tiny market/deli, a Catholic church, fire station, a few B&Bs and the rest is homes. (I might have missed something, but you get the idea.)

So yes, to do really anything, you need to drive to a neighbouring town. Cannon Beach is about 8 miles.

Syrah, maybe by the time you visit in June it will have stopped raining here on the coast :-)

You can walk to Hug Point State Park from Ocean Point Inn. But yes, for pretty much everything else, you'd need to drive. That's the trade-off of staying in Arch Cape. And I don't know of anything comparable to Ocean Point Inn in any nearby town. BTW, dining room hours at Arch Cape Inn are limited, so check if you decide to go.
